    WNBA is so funny, it was a nothing league, they all make like $40k or something, then that one college star shows up who seems to finally get the middle-aged middle America moms/aunts interested and do a 5x to the league’s profile, & they all want to decapitate her every play

    Isn’t the real conclusion from this that for most purposes there’s very little daylight between a super-elite violinist and just, like, a very good one who’s a random poor music student at whatever nearest music school out busking for rent money?
    “ In Washington DC, at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, a man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After about four minutes, a

    Using AI, I was able to take some old painting and make it better. First the painting. Notice how you can barely see what's even going on. Where even is this? Who are the people? Huh? You're too far away to really see the setup. Whole left side blank. Nothing here to grab onto.

    Who keeps carrying on this one-way conversation. Issues like ‘get rid of gas stoves’ just have this stubborn institutional momentum behind then that suggests a large & powerful force, like a gravity well suggesting a planet. But who is it? Who wants ‘gas stoves’ gone so much?

    Smart People claim they want a society run along technocratic, fact-driven lines but try informing them that recycling is bullshit and they will just not want to hear it
